Aprende a reparar tu iPad Pro 10.5" con este resumen en vídeo.

Introducción

Apple is at it again, trying to win over the workforce with yet another iPad Pro (this time with a brand-new 10.5" screen size). We expect to see Apple put points on the board with some silicon slam dunks, but what else puts this Pro in the big leagues? Is this new iPad a knock out of the park or is it just KO'd? Only one way to know! Let's play ball tear it down!

As we delve deeper into the shallow device, we realize we haven't spotted any internal cabling yet.

We find this 3.5 mm headphone jack and speaker driver right where we expect ...

... but instead of routing their ribbon cables over the top of the speaker resonance chamber like in their 12.9" counterparts, Apple has tucked the cables rather inconveniently underneath—that is, sandwiched between the speaker and rear case.

Lifting up a strip of padded conductive tape, we find screws! Last time we had a sad time removing Pro speakers, so screws are a good sign.

Psych—those screws didn't save us from fighting through nasty adhesive to remove the speakers.

Sure enough, allllllll the connecting cables are hiding out under this overturned rock speaker chamber.

At least the speaker chamber itself comes out intact, with the driver attached—unlike in the 12.9" Pro, this is a nondestructive process. The speaker even has little spring contacts, so it lifts out cleanly.

Not so for the ribbon cables that remain glued to the rear case, however.

The fight with the speaker adhesive on the opposite side rewards us with access to the rear-facing camera and light sensor.

The light sensor is covered by a green/white/clear filter that might help with the True Tone system.

The 10.5" Pro adopts the same formidable cameras found in the iPhone 7.

The rear-facing camera now shoots up to 12 MP stills and 4K video at 30 fps, all with the benefit of optical image stabilization. This is up from the 8 MP stills and 1080p video capable cameras found in the 2015 12.9" Pro.

The front-facing selfie camera is no slouch either, as it can take 7 MP photos and has 1080p video recording.

What’s a USB-C controller doing in here? The iPad doesn’t have a USB-C port.

Ah, but if you pair this little chip with a Lightning-to-USB-C cable and Apple’s 29W USB-C charger, you unlock a bonus feature: USB Power Delivery, a.k.a. fast charging.

Previously featured only on the 12.9” iPad Pro, fast charging cuts your battery charging time in half. (This was an especially big deal on the 12.9” model, which otherwise needs up to five hours to drink enough electrons for a full charge.)

Because of the pull-tab adhesive securing its battery, we deemed the original iPad Pro the first really recyclable iPad. Hoping for lightning to strike twice, we apprehensively peel up some tape on the edge of the battery.

I was waiting for iFixit.com to teardown the iPad Pro 10.5 but the LTE version because it could let us know what's Apple's plan with next iphone modem. This new iPad is supposed to support CDMA Network so I want to know if it is using an INTEL modem or a Qualcomm modem. If this iPad uses an Intel modem with CDMA it means intel is ready to substitute Qualcomm on Verizon/Sprint iPhone. The specs in Apple website shows this new iPad Pro supports up to 450 Mbps so it could be using Intel XMM 7480 modem. It also could be using Qualcomm Snapdragon X12 LTE Modem (600 Mbps) and Apple slowed the speed down to 450 Mbps just to have equal specs for both iPads (GSM and CDMA).

From the tech spec of new iPad Pro Apple released on product web site, most likely, it is still Qualcomm modem inside due to CDMA support. Unlike iPhone 7, there are several models which is base band tech dependent. For new iPad Pro, there is one model only to support all telecommunication tech, especially CDMA. Intel's first chip to support CDMA will be XMM7650 announced in Feb.
